Applesauce Raisin Bran Muffins

Recipe #110635 | 30 min | 10 min prep | add private note

By: Vino Girl
Feb 8, 2005

I checked and while I found many bran muffin recipes here, none were quite like this. I like this one not only because it is lower fat, but because it doesn't have as much added sugar, and it relies on the cereal more than the flour to make the batter. The muffins themselves are surprisingly moist and light in texture. I like the light sweetness of these and the crunchy muffin tops. (If you sprinkle a little extra cereal on top, they get an even better crunch, and improved appearance.) I found this recipe at www.mealsmatter.org. Watch these since the recipe stated they should bake in 20 minutes, but I found mine were done after about 15.

These muffins are delicious! I made these for my 2 year old son as a way to sneak something healthy into his diet. I love that they are low in sugar. He loves that he can hold them and eat them by himself. I've also made these with just raisin bran and added blueberries instead of raisins and those came out really tasty as well. I notice people complain about bran muffins being "bland" but what I think people don't realize that it's really just the bran flavor. Bran isn't really an exciting flavor! But these are great....the applesauce adds just the right amount of sweetness!

    Made these muffins for the first time in January/08 and they are now the only muffins we make. It doesn't matter what you add (like chocolate chips, walnuts, spices, apples) you can't go wrong. A huge winner in our house. Thanks so much!

    Great healthy muffin recipe. I substituted freshly ground oat flour for the all-purpose and also added a little cinnmaon. I made these several weeks ago - made extra to freeze - and they freeze very well! Thanks for posting.

    Great muffin! I made them into mini muffins and got 36 little gems! I didn't have Raisin Bran cereal, so I used 2 c. bran flakes and 1/2 c. raisins. I also added 1 t. cinnamon since I love it and 1/2 c. packed brown sugar (I initially had the recipe halved and it said 1/4 c. so I doubled it to 1/2) and I used light butter. I'll make this again, maybe as regular size muffins.
